Super Honest

The Doomsday series of comics was the inspiration behind this pair of kicks. The client didnt have a specific design in mind and allowed me to run with the idea. In this specific series of comics Superman comes up against one of his most formidible foes, Doomsday. Check out this link to learn more about Doomsday:

Much like my previous works, I used Fabric paint for this particular piece. I started off with a washy underpainting and then worked in detail over it. I used an embosing gun to heat seal the paint to prevent it from washing out. I did three seperate heat sealing sessions, one on each layer of paint to ensure that this masterpiece stands the test of time.

Squishy Skulls

This is the latest in my Honesty Sneaker Series. Ive entitled it Squishy Skull.

Its really refreshing when a client comes to me with an original idea for a shoe. In this case the client wanted a 'tentacally skull'. I was like 'ahhh ok cool'.

After a few sketches, some paint and a heat gun...this was the end result.

Honesty and Tetris

Here is another pair of hand painted Honesty sneakers. It was inspired by the classic 8-bit Nintendo game Tetris. This particular pair proved to be a crowd favourite.

IceBerg Dreams

This is a pair of Converse Jack Purcells I customised for a client in about 2007. I used fabric paint and sealed it with a heat gun that is usually used for embossing. Ive done many pairs since, but this is still one of my favourites.

Beehive Jenny Step Back

Here are two pencil sketches I did in 2009, 'Beehive Jenny' and 'Step Back', respectively. they are both on A4 paper.
